About This Home
As of July 2022Home has been updated, improved and there’s nothing to do except move in. Great views! Private, shaded back yard and wooded retention area across the road (see pictures #3 & #4) provide a secluded country atmosphere even though the home is in town. So, what’s been updated or remodeled ? New 2015 90%+ energy efficient furnace. All New 2016 vinyl replacement windows on main level except living picture window. New 2017, water heater. New 2014, bathroom tub/shower, surround, flooring, vanity, sink top and faucet. New 2016, kitchen flooring, counter-top, sink, faucet and back-splash. New paint. New 2015, backyard shed. Kind of sounds like a broken record -new, new, new. So, what’s not new?? The beautiful hardwood floors in the living room and both bedrooms is an original from days gone by.
